I've been traveling since March 24, 2004. In that time I've excitedly covered a large portion of Europe, slowly meandered through out the east coast of Australia, and lost myself in the South Island of New Zealand. Currently I'm roaming around the USA with the goal of sleeping on a couch, be it in the home of a friend or a stranger turned new friend through the phenomenon of CouchSurfing - in all 50 states...all the while lugging around an inflatable Red Couch named Lucy. Look out! I'm just as likely to be found on a couch near you as anywhere else.
I'm learning a new programming language style and found this interesting application that had my occupied for 2 minutes and 53 seconds. It is this simple game where you try and name all 50 states in under three minutes. I did it! Can you? Try it for yourself here.
I would have done it much faster but apparently this Texas boy isn't that great at spelling Masachu..., er, Massachu.. eh, you get the idea. :)
Some of the employees of Digg in SF telecommute on Fridays and this week we invited them to do it at CouchSurfing's "digs" in Berkeley. Thanks for stopping by! Come back any time, guys!
As you might expect, Obama winning the presidency made the city of San Francisco very, very happy. To further investigate, our secret agent bunny squad took to the streets to get the full-tilt scope of the night's festivities.
So yay for Obama and yay for the spirit of change! It's the 'end of an error!'
I got an email forwarded to me yesterday helping me weigh the political issues in a 'fair and balanced' way. While it obviously came from the McCain/Palin camp I was amazed at one thing.
For the last eight years Bush has McCain's and the Republican Party''s absolute hero. Even while he was destroying everything in his path they stood behind him with big grins on their faces. Is it only surprising to me that they now want so little to do with Bush and the current administration that they even say that Obama - the challenger and enemy of the GOP - would do what Bush would do?
The craziest (and truly boldest) part about this to me is that their 11th our pitch is "We're not like Bush, Obama is!" What's next? Will I get an email later today calling him "Obama bin Laden"?
